09:25 pm - James Franco on General Hospital - This is Strangely Awesome

I don't watch soaps, but I DO watch James Franco. I don't know what possessed him to go on General Hospital, and I don't care: the result is some sort of garish awesomeness.

See, so many actors on soaps always try so damn hard to make their work seem respectable. They desperately try to deliver absurd lines like a normal human being and not the shallowly conceived caricature that their character really is. James Franco knows he has nothing to prove here, and so he embraces the cheese factor wholeheartedly, and as a consequence delivers the perfect performance.
